Chapter 64: Recording Peppers
Now Zhao Yunlan comes to the small courtyard of the Liu family every day to take care of the peppers and record the daily situation. Old lady Liu looked at the planting record written by Zhao Yunlan very novelly, and asked: "Mrs. Zhao, why do you have to record these every day, I don't think it's any different every day!" ”
Zhao Yunlan explained: "I have never planted this pepper before, and this is from overseas, I think this time to record it, there will be a reference for planting in the future, well, please allow Mrs. Liu to allow me to stay here and wait for the results of this pepper, so that I can make a complete record." ”
Old lady Liu smiled: "Okay, then let you record it completely, and show it to me as soon as you finish writing." ”
Zhao Yunlan responded happily.
The pepper seedlings are basically standing now, and every pan is glowing with vitality, and Zhao Yunlan is in a good mood. After washing my hands, I noticed that the old lady Liu had also prepared pancreas for herself to wash her hands.
Zhao Yunlan remembered that the shopkeeper Wu said that this pancreas was selling very well in Fucheng.
Zhao Yunlan's previous idea has now come out again, that is, to make this ancient soap, and if you have an idea, you have to do it. After leaving the small courtyard of the Liu family, Zhao Yunlan went to the market to buy lard, thinking that the family hadn't eaten pork ribs for a long time, so she bought some ribs and went back.
Zhao Yunlan drove the ox cart back to Lijia Village. This oxcart was still asked by Zhao Yunlan from Old Man Li, Li Mingren was very jealous when he found out, and ran to ask Old Man Li why he didn't give it if he wanted to use the ox cart. Old man Li just smiled, picked up the hoe and went to the ground, without giving Li Mingren a word.
When Zhao Yunlan got home, Xiaobao was the first to run over to hug her. Zhao Yunlan was worried that the cow had hit Xiaobao, so she quickly asked Xiaobao to stand and get off the ox cart by herself. Xiaobao was obedient, and Zhao Yunlan led the cow into the cowshed before coming to hug Xiaobao.
"Mother, I learned today that 'at the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away'." Xiaobao sprinkled in Zhao Yunlan's arms.
Zhao Yunlan kissed Xiaobao's fat face and praised: "Xiaobao is really amazing, Xiaobao guess what her mother brought to Xiaobao today." ”
Xiaobao pretended to think: "It's sugar candy!" ”
Zhao Yunlan laughed: "Xiao Bao is really smart, it's sugar candy, it's just that today's sugar candy is a sugar gourd, do you want to eat it." ”
Xiaobao nodded, and kissed Zhao Yunlan a few times before Zhao Yunlan took out a string of sugar gourds.
"Xiaobao, what if there is something delicious?" Zhao Yunlan asked.
Xiaobao took the sugar gourd and went to the upper room: "Mother, I know, I want to share." Grandmother, grandmother, I invite you to eat sugar gourds. ”
When Xiaobao asked a circle of people and finally could eat deliciously, Li Mingren suddenly shouted to Xiaobao complainingly: "Xiaobao, haven't you asked your father yet?" ”
Xiaobao fluttered his flickering eyes and thought for a while: "Daddy, my mother said that eating sugar is not good for your teeth, so do you still want to eat it?" ”
Li Mingren: "Since it's not good for your teeth, then Daddy will help you eat one." "Said that he took the sugar gourd and ate two in a row.
Xiaobao looked at the two sugar gourds missing, just asked a circle and no one ate Xiaobao's sugar gourd, and when Li Mingren came to say that it was delicious, he ended up eating two, Xiaobao didn't react, tears fell first, and said: "Bad daddy." ”
Zhao Yunlan heard Xiaobao crying and hurriedly came over to hug her, and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaobao?" ”
Li Mingren was weak-hearted, and he still wrapped two hawthorns in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I ate his sugar gourd, and he asked me if I would eat it." ”
Zhao Yunlan turned her head to look at Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, tell your mother, did you ask your father if you want to eat sugar gourd?" ”
Xiaobao sobbed and nodded.
Zhao Yunlan continued: "Since Xiaobao asked, you must be sincere, you can't cry if your father eats it, otherwise you don't ask your father if he eats." ”
Xiaobao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said: "Daddy said to eat one, but Xiaobao still has one, two, three, and three here." Woo~"
Zhao Yunlan hugged Xiaobao: "Daddy's words don't count, Daddy ate two, didn't he?" ”
Xiaobao was buried in Zhao Yunlan's arms and nodded.
Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, don't cry, if you cry again, the sugar gourd will melt, let's let Daddy buy one for Xiaobao next time." ”
Xiaobao wiped his nose and nodded.
Zhao Yunlan glared at Li Mingren at this time, and left the father and son to go to the kitchen.
Li Mingmei helped Zhao Yunlan cut lard in the kitchen early. Seeing Zhao Yunlan come in, he said, "Sister-in-law, I saw that half of this plate of oil was cut, so I cut it all." I see that there are still a lot of lard in that tank, and my sister-in-law bought so much this time. ”
Zhao Yunlan said: "This time I didn't buy it to eat, this time I will use it." ”
Zhao Yunlan took some burned plant ashes and soaked them in water for a while, and then put them aside to soak. The cut lard is also put aside for the time being, but you can go and see what flowers are on the mountain, and pick them back for later use.
Zhao Yunlan said just do it, and pulled Li Mingmei up the mountain, after the weather gradually got hotter, wild flowers bloomed all over the mountain, red, yellow, white, and purple, Zhao Yunlan liked it every time she came to the mountain.
Li Mingmei: "Sister-in-law, what's the use of these flowers?" If you don't eat it, it doesn't smell good. ”
The wildflowers on the mountain really don't have any floral fragrance, only the original herbaceous fragrance.
Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Even if you pick them, try to choose those beautiful flowers, pick them completely, and don't damage the petals." ”
Li Mingmei nodded, understood.
The two sisters-in-law walked around the mountain like this, and each person brought back a basket of flowers.
When Wang saw the two of them going up the mountain, he brought some flowers back and asked, "Yunlan, what are you doing with these flowers!" ”
Zhao Yunlan turned her head and went to the house to take the bath beans given by the shopkeeper Wu last time, "Mother, little sister, you can try to wash your hands and use this these days, and you can also use it for washing clothes, but this is too small, and I am afraid that it is not enough to wash clothes." ”
Li Mingmei: "Sister-in-law, what is this?" ”
Zhao Yunlan smiled: "This is given by the shopkeeper Wu, and the people over there in Fucheng are using it, saying that it is called bath beans." ”
Li Mingmei was just about to wash her hands, so she took one and tried it.
Li Mingmei: "Sister-in-law, this washing is really clean." ”
Zhao Yunlan smiled: "That one will be used for you, and my mother will also take one to use." ”
Old man Li and Li Mingli had just come back from the field, and they came over to take a look, and Li Mingli said, "Sister-in-law, give me one of this good thing." ”
Zhao Yunlan said with a smile: "There are only three in total, these three will be used by our women first, and then I will use them for you when I make them." ”
Li Mingmei and Li Mingli exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, you actually do this." ”
Old man Li shouted beside him: "You two be quiet, my ears are deaf to you." ”
Wang said beside him: "Your voice is not lower than theirs. ”
Zhao Yunlan smiled mysteriously: "I don't know if I can make it yet, I'll talk about it when I make it." ”
After Li Mingren was scolded by Old Man Li a lot, he had a long memory, and he no longer dared to join in the fun, so he could only look in the room silently.
